The winemaker’s goal is to optimize the expression of the dual climate in Cafayate – hot days and cool nights. The effect of this wide thermal amplitude has on the grapes is to give them higher concentration of fruit, color and balance. The grapes are vinified separately and aged for 15 months in both American and French oak barrels.

Aroma
Spicy where red pepper and paprika outstand. The oak adds smoky and tobacco notes. Persistent aromas.
Palate
Elegant tasting, sophisticated and complex, well balanced with a mouth full of ripe tannins. Black berries, morello chery and pepper notes stand out.
